When thinking of a rewards program, grocery store savings cards and clothing boutique punch cards may come to mind, but one car company feels their customers should be rewarded, too. The Nissan One To One Rewards program does just that.
The Nissan One To One Rewards program is a loyalty program that allows customers to earn points that can be used on a variety of services and products at participating Nissan dealerships. The program works by allowing customers to earn points for every dollar spent at participating dealerships. Points can be accumulated and later redeemed on anything from service visits to new or used vehicle purchases.
The program is requires no fee to participate. Enrollment is simple and can be done quickly online.
Finally, my crippling fear of clowns won’t stop me from enjoying the big top. Right now at Jim Sigel, the Nissan Sentra Tent Event is showcasing more than 20 nicely equipped 2012 Sentra 2.0 sedans at $14,900. That’s $3,280 under MSRP. I get to pick my color (while they last), and there aren’t any clowns or dancing bears lurking around the corner. Who trusts a bear on a ball, anyway? I don’t even know humans who can do that.
In addition to the important stuff like a 140 hp; 2.0L engine, anti-lock brakes and six air bags, I can also enjoy the perks like a CD player with an audio input jack and gas mileage of 27 city and 34 highway.
The Nissan Sentras for $14,990 are only available while they last, so I’m going to get down to Jim Sigel and get under the tent. The sale is happening Monday through Saturday, 8-6; and Sunday 11 to 5. Maybe I’ll see you there?
2012 marks both the 100th anniversary of the Chevrolet brand and the 45thanniversary of Camaro.The 45th Anniversary Special Edition, offered on the two top trim levels — 2LT and 2SS — and for both coupe and convertible styles, commemorates Camaro’s lineage and its 21st Century revival.

When deciding on a new vehicle, whether you are buying or leasing a New or Used vehicle, being fuel-efficient starts at the showroom. The model you choose will definitely be a main factor in how decent the fuel economy will be for you, but your driving habits and vehicle knowledge could be more powerful.
Below are just a few tips we came across to help you be more fuel-efficient when buying a new or used vehicle:
Be Smart, Buy by your Lifestyle – Keep in mind that a vehicle’s weight, power and displacement (4, 6 or 8 cylinders) will be a big influence on its fuel consumption. So, if you are single and don’t have a trailer or anything to tow, or if only using the vehicle for daily commutes to work, then don’t buy a large, gas-guzzling SUV.
Pay attention to the EPA Label – This is the label that is placed on every vehicle under 8,500 lbs and lists the city and highway mpg ratings.
Review the Consumption Guide – FuelEconomy.gov publishes a Fuel Consumption guide available online to offer insight on all models.
Choose the Right Transmission - As a general rule, a manual transmission is about 5-10% more fuel-efficient than an automatic, assuming you shift properly. The manual advantage tends to be greatest on small cars with four-cylinder engines. For a typical driver, proper use of a manual transmission can save at least 100 liters of fuel annually. However, with an automatic transmission the vehicle becomes more fuel-efficient with a greater number of gears (for example 6 vs 4). That’s because the extra gears are better able to keep the engine running at or near its most efficient level.
Be Careful of the Add-On Options - Using a remote starter allows for unnecessary idling, which wastes fuel and increases greenhouse gas emissions. A roofrack (loaded or empty) increases aerodynamic drag. Additionally, the more available options you choose can weigh down your vehicle and make it use more fuel.
Fuel-Efficient Options - There are a few add-on options you can choose to help your vehicle in fuel economy. Some of these options are lightweight aluminum wheels, cruise control, and trip computers, which can simply help you understand how much fuel you use.
Good Driving and Maintenance Habits - Becoming familiar with your vehicle’s maintenance schedule and having the necessary work and repairs performed can help maximize your fuel economy. Also, adopting good driving habits such as, avoiding hard and fast accelerations, using cruise control, keeping a low speed during the warm-up period, and shutting the engine off while waiting on someone can really make a difference in the long run.
Kelley Blue Book put together a list of the 10 Most Fuel-Efficient SUVs and Crossovers this week, giving the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox the number seven spot.
Being one of the largest crossover contenders in the comparison, the Equinox’s top highway fuel economy rises above all others in its class.
Equipped with the standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower, the Equinox’s engine has the ability to select the correct gear for maximum fuel economy.
The engines feature direct-injection technology and are matched with 6-speed automatic transmissions, both of which simultaneously increase power and efficiency. The 4-cylinder versions offer an “Eco” button that sets the engine and transmission programming to mileage-maxing mode. Both 4-cylinder and the available V6 engines are E85 compatible.
Overall, the 2012 Chevy Equinox (4-cylinder) offers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg highway, best of all its direct competitors, and 26 mpg combined.
Looking for a family-sized SUV but not willing to sacrifice your wallet? No worries, we have a large selection of the 2012 Equinoxes available. Check out our Website, or stop by the dealership for a test drive.
We are excited to have an EV Charging Station right here in Grants Pass! As a dealership committed to excellent customer service in all aspects, this will really help our community and the environment in our town. We provide the Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt at Jim Sigel Automotive and being provided a local charging station for these vehicles is a huge benefit to our Electric Vehicle customers.
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) launched the first part of the West Coast Electric Highway with officially opening EV charging stations in Southern Oregon,
The charging station in Grants Pass is located on the North exit in Grants Pass.starting with Salem and including Grants Pass, Roseburg, Ashland, Cottage Grove, Rice Hill, Canyonville, Wolf Creek, and Central Point. A total of eight charging stations were opened through Southern Oregon, and the plan is to include an additional 40 stations throughout Oregon and Washington by the end of the year.
The distance between the stations is around 25 miles. This week’s announcement means that the first eight chargers are now operational, and even better, for a “limited time,” it does not cost any money to refill your battery. Each charging station includes one Level 2 and one DC fast charger.

Jim Sigel Automotive has joined forces with Gates Home Furnishing and Gladiola High School to sponsor and raise money for a local family in serious need of financial assistance for medical treatment.
Gladiola High School has “adopted” a Sparrow Club child named Paisley M., and Jim Sigel Automotive and Gates Home Furnishing will provide the finances for the high school students to collect from for completed hours worked in the community.
Paisley is only nine months old, and is a happy and physically normal baby girl. But when she was four months old, doctors discovered a tumor growing inside her liver. Paisley underwent biopsy surgery, which was then followed by two additional surgeries when the cantaloupe size tumor was finally removed. Unfortunately, this left only 27% of her liver. In addition, Paisley required eight blood transfusions, and her family was soon informed that the biopsy had tested positive for cancer.
The other half of this family’s story is that Paisley’s mother, Chelsey, is also fighting her own battle of cancer; brain cancer. Chelsey underwent brain surgery when she was seven months pregnant with Paisley. Doctors were able to remove 80% of the tumor, but she has had to go through 37 radiation treatments and now will receive chemotherapy for two to four years.
See the full story of Paisley and her courageous fight at www.sparrowclubs.org. And we want to thank Sparrow Club for this wonderful opportunity to help in our community, as well as Gladiola High School and Gates Home Furnishing for joining the cause with us.
Announced earlier this month, the Nissan LEAF will now be available to residents in all U.S. markets. This new launch phase means drivers in 21 new states will be able to select and order a 2012 Nissan LEAF.
The Nissan LEAF, the world’s first and only electric car, now is also the only electric car ever to be available nationwide.
“More than 22,000 LEAFs are on the roads globally, having driven more than 30 million miles,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing, NNA. “There is no longer any doubt that a 100-percent electric, zero-emissions vehicle fulfills the needs and desires of drivers from around the globe.”
We couldn’t agree more!
